Hi everybody,

Reading the board for a while, I decided to register an show my car.

I'm 24 and live in south of France. It's good to see that they are a lot of Volvo turbo enthusiast. I found here plenty of usefull info for maintenance and improvement and hope it will go on

I came here because in France, it's all about french car and diesel, so Volvo and especially Turbos are very rare, but we try to build a community and gather turbo's owner here.

Here is one of my Volvo somewhere near my place, hope you will like it.


Pic taken last year when I bought it

Oh, and to be able to edit your posts you would have to become a member.

Very nice 850

Thanks for the comment, 850 and more in turbo is a very good car, owned a 2.5 20S GLT before the T-5R, but some stuff to improve, I will talk about current and planned mods later

3 series

This is a 360 GLT, not imported to the US, I guess it's too small

The 360 GLT has B200E engine with Le-Jetronic, lighter than a 240, a very fun RWD.

Some all random pics as you asked


Thanks to the dusty rain

Sure, I waited someone to ask Some of my friend don't like Volvo especially in yellow but they must admit that it goes fast and with an outstanding confort compared to french cars ( ) and most of germans ones.



with temporary Swiss number plates.





Nice Vredestein that I had to change (front 215/40 and rear 225/45 to all 4 in 205/45)
In France you are not allowed to have another tire size than OEM



Of course, it's manual



My entries to our autumn pic contest




Some work done on it :

PCV :

That's the old one.

All silicon house (vacum and intercooler)


Resealing oil pan and replacing oil sump o-ring kit


Next mod from USA currently sitting in my bedroom

guess what


Compared to what I see here, I'm far of you all about detailing and performance, but stage 0 is done + PCV + oil pan (seal and o-ring)

I already changed the turn signal repetiter for clear ones, I also want the upper rear with clear turn signal from V70.

More to come, new front grill (I don't have decided the style yet), new suspension + spring seat, I want better brakes, better handling, and will see for more power.

Since I don't go to track or drag, stock HP are enough and it's going pretty fast on our road and highway, too fast according to the cops
